B3.3/5.0

Behavior3/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already declare readOnlyHint=true, idempotentHint=true and openWorldHint=false, so the safety profile is covered. The description adds only that results are excerpts annotated with page and section; it does not mention ranking, truncation, or that index_missing causes documents to be extracted first (a non-trivial side effect left entirely to the schema).

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness5/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

A single compact sentence that front-loads the action and appends the return value. No filler, no restatement of the title.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness3/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

With an output schema present and 83% parameter coverage, the definition is functional but thin: it omits how excerpts are ordered or capped (limit max 50), and says nothing about behaviour when index_missing triggers extraction. For a 6-parameter search tool that is the minimum viable level.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters3/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema description coverage is 83% and each parameter already carries a French description, including the match enum and the wildcard/accents behaviour of query. The description adds no meaning beyond the schema, which is acceptable at this coverage level but earns only the baseline.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb and scope ("Recherche plein texte dans les documents d'un projet") plus the return shape (excerpts with page and section), so the operation is unambiguous. It does not differentiate itself from nearby siblings such as search_sources or list_documents, which is the only thing keeping it off a 5.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

There is no when-to-use or when-not-to-use guidance and no named alternative. An agent must infer from the name and the word "projet" that this searches document content rather than sources or metadata; nothing in the text routes it among the many sibling search/analysis tools.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
